Royal and SunAlliance Novices’ Chase History and Winners

The Royal and SunAlliance Novices’ Chase is one of the oldest races run at the Cheltenham Festival. The event was first contested in 1946. The race was briefly run in two divisions in 1948 and 1949 before reverting to its original format in 1950.

While the Royal and SunAlliance Novices’ Chase rarely produces future Cheltenham Festival legends, there are two notable exceptions, Arkle winning the 1963 edition of the race, and 2008 Gold Cup champion Denman winning the race in 2007.
